Maybe. I've been working with Speex for some time, so I'll help where I 
can -- but in the asterisk community, people are enamored with iLBC 
(free, but not open-source), and G.72x (patents and licenses and all).

I'll also need to do optimization work for PPC, because my application 
needs to be able to perform well on PPC as well as x86.

I'm sure there's headroom there to make things work, so it's not my 
primary concern.. The quality I see so far with this seems acceptable, 
but x264 seems to be still better..
